Hi, here's a bit kind of newbie question: Is it possible to assign series of specific object snaps into different hotkeys?

For example:
- Ctrl + Alt + 1 : Checks (enable) Object Snap for Origin, Axis, and Points, and DISABLE any others.
- Ctrl + Alt + 2 : Checks (enable) Object Snap for End, Mid, Intersection, and DISABLE any others.
- Ctrl + Alt + 3 : Checks (enable) All of Object Snap.

This could be helpful since sometimes, at certain zoom level view, some 'snap interests' get pretty close one to the others so that we begin to create something based on the wrong place.

I do hope make myself clear here, and please pardon for my English.
Thank you very much in advance.

- Sincerely

Hi Elang, yes this is possible by putting in some script as the "Command" part of the shortcut key under Options > Shortcuts.

These are controlled by the moi.drawingAids object, which has these properties on it that can be set to true (checked) or false:

objectSnapOrigin
objectSnapAxis
objectSnapEnd
objectSnapMid
objectSnapCen
objectSnapInt
objectSnapQuad
objectSnapPt
objectSnapOn
objectSnapOnSrf
objectSnapPerp
objectSnapTan
objectSnapPerpPerp
objectSnapTanTan


re:
> - Ctrl + Alt + 1 : Checks (enable) Object Snap for Origin, Axis, and Points, and DISABLE any others.

This one would go like this:

script: var da = moi.drawingAids; da.objectSnapOrigin = da.objectSnapAxis = da.objectSnapPt = true; da.objectSnapEnd = da.objectSnapMid = da.objectSnapCen = da.objectSnapInt = da.objectSnapQuad = da.objectSnapOn = da.objectSnapOnSrf = da.objectSnapPerp = da.objectSnapTan = da.objectSnapPerpPerp = da.objectSnapTanTan = false;


> - Ctrl + Alt + 2 : Checks (enable) Object Snap for End, Mid, Intersection, and DISABLE any others.

script: var da = moi.drawingAids; da.objectSnapEnd = da.objectSnapMid = da.objectSnapInt = true; da.objectSnapOrigin = da.objectSnapAxis = da.objectSnapCen = da.objectSnapQuad = da.objectSnapPt = da.objectSnapOn = da.objectSnapOnSrf = da.objectSnapPerp = da.objectSnapTan = da.objectSnapPerpPerp = da.objectSnapTanTan = false;


> - Ctrl + Alt + 3 : Checks (enable) All of Object Snap.

script: var da = moi.drawingAids; da.objectSnapOrigin = da.objectSnapAxis = da.objectSnapEnd = da.objectSnapMid = da.objectSnapCen = da.objectSnapInt = da.objectSnapQuad = da.objectSnapPt = da.objectSnapOn = da.objectSnapOnSrf = da.objectSnapPerp = da.objectSnapTan = da.objectSnapPerpPerp = da.objectSnapTanTan = true;


For MoI v5 I've made a note to add something to set all or clear all with one script function call to make this kind of script to be shorter.


Hope this helps! - Michael

Thank you so very much, Michael.

You're breath taking! :)
